Sony NEX-FS700 Price Confirmed at $7999

We kinda expected a pricepoint in this neighborhood; however, now that I’m actually looking at it, it’s hard to believe that Sony is delivering 240fps at full 1080p for $8k. And, to boot, it’s going to capture 4K via an external recorder.

No pre-orders yet, but stay tuned. I’ll let you know as soon as they open up.

Very nice if you’re in the billionaire class. (So why am I looking at this camera? you may well be asking yourself. Because dvt.co.nz invited me to a presentation in Auckland and I was curious.) The US price of $8k equals just over NZ$9,970, which is more than two-thirds of my personal after-tax annual income. Mind-boggling.
